Thunder on Earth Love

Returnees

After Thunder's departure, Randi entered the room. He saw that Shafa had opened his eyes with a confused look. Randi immediately called the doctor.

He also contacted Steven that Shafa was aware.

Doctors told him that Shafa's condition had improved, only to restore his body to health again.

"Hi Non!" sapa Randi who approached Shafa's bed while waving his hands and ignorant cling.

"Why did you come here? Not in Jakarta keep daddy," asked Shafa with a still weak voice.

"I'm here to keep the princess asleep. Remember not yesterday Why?"

"Yes remember, I'm not amnesiac." Shafa was about to wake up with both of his elbows as a focus. It turns out that the former puncture in his arm still leaves pain. Randi swiftly grabbed Shafa's body and helped him sit leaning back.

"Do you want to help pick her hair?"

"Don't Rand! Let the nurse help you."

Randi understood Shafa's intentions. He does not want to be in contact with other men. But his name is not Randi if not force. "Sooking an jaim. I don't wear lust Non. I don't know who I am."

"Sign up Rand. We are not muhrim" Shafa refused.

Randi looks for a hair tie inside Shafa's bag located in the drawer. Shafa always provides a backup of various kinds of hair ties there.

"Here don't bring it!" Randi took a position in front of Shafa's face, his hands flicked the veil and tidied Shafa's hair and tied it neatly.

In a position that looked like people were hugging, Steven and the others entered the room. Realizing that, Randi immediately took some distance. Gibran gave him a sharp look. Perhaps it was more of a jealousy of seeing his sister closer to someone else

Unlike Steven who looks relaxed. He knew Randi and Shafa were like brothers. From childhood they grew up together.

Olivia hugged her daughter. It has been a long time since they met. Olivia seemed to be spilling her guilt all along.

"Sorry Shafa!" That's all that came out of Olivia's tears. She felt useless as a mother. His selfishness made Shafa suffer. Never gave love as a mother. Because Shafa is not her real daughter. But now he feels guilty.

Guilty of having wasted such a great daughter as Shafa.

Shafa was silent about getting that treatment. Not expecting her mother to turn into a warm mother figure. In the past he could only feel a warm embrace from the bik Nani, Randi's mother. But it was still different from the affection of the person he considered to be his biological mother. Which is not really a real mother. After Fachri's death, he learns a very painful reality. That his biological parents are gone. Steven just opened his voice when Shafa asked him the truth about himself.

"Would you forgive Mama?" asked Olivia while stretching her arms. Looking at the princess in front of him with a sad look.

Shafa could only nod with a puddle of water in his eyes. A feeling of joy and happiness enveloped his heart. All this time he was far from the love of a mother. Because of this, Shafa is devastated by Fachri's departure. He gets genuine affection from Fachri. Only that man could melt his heart. Reveal that what he did was wrong. Then lead himself into a strong and strong figure. Turn your soul into a good Muslim.

"Thank you, baby!" Olivia kissed Shafa's forehead.

Steven approached, stroking his daughter's head covered in a veil. Shafa hugged his father.

"Shafa misses Daddy" said spoiled Shafa. The other side of a Shafa who looks strong and tough. He became spoiled when he met his father. The figure he knew as a single parent after Olivia left with her brother. But now his family has gathered.

"If you miss, go home! Daddy's lonely without you!"

"There's a minute Dad. Wait for Shafa to finish college. By the way Daddy, how do you know Shafa's here?" shafa asked by taking off his embrace.

"Daddy's man gave the news. You are injured and in critical condition. That's why Daddy just came here" Steven replied.

Flashbacks

"Sorry boss! Non Shafa was injured and is now in a critical condition in the hospital" said a person who contacted Steven on a mobile phone.

"How come? Keeping a girl alone is not truculent," said Steven growled.

"*Sorry our boss was off guard that time."

"Now send me his hospital address*." Steven disconnected the call. Then he asked Andi to book a flight ticket to the city of Y. Steven invited Randi to come along.

~*~

Olivia, who was getting word from Gibran, headed straight for the hospital that night. Worried about bad things for his son. He also wanted to know who the girl Gibran was referring to, the girl who had been protecting him. Until now the girl played with death.

"Gibran" call Olivia when she enters the ward. Gibran was sitting beside the bed, looking at the girl who had just gone through a difficult time.

Gibran looked at his mother. Olivia walked quickly to her son. Make sure that his son is not hurt.

"Gibran didn't hurt Ma. But she's Ma." Gibran pointed to the girl lying next to them.

Olivia looked at the girl, watching her face closely. For a moment he was stunned. Yeah, he knows that face. The face he once hated. A girl who often becomes an outlet for her frustration. The girl he used to be angry with. He snapped for no apparent reason.

"Clara.." said Olivia later.

"Yes Ma. He's Gibran's brother."

At once Olivia's body felt weak. How could he be in this town? Doesn't Clara live with Steven? And now she has also changed a lot into a hijab girl. What happened to the girl during her departure?

Gibran sat his mother in the chair he had occupied. In the midst of the confusion that hit Olivia. The door opened, two male figures barged in.

But his second step slowed down when he knew who was in front of him.

Two pairs of eyes clashed against each other. Olivia didn't budge from her seat. After a long time they never met. Now they are found in an unexpected situation. An unstoppable longing glow was implied from the gaze of the two. The question now is, is there still love between them after being separated for many years? Only his second heart held the answer.

Gibran did not think that his father would come so soon. He did not dare to greet his father. There was a sense of awkwardness that gave distance between them.

Steven turned his eyes back to Shafa. The princess he was trying to protect despite being away from him. But it turns out that destiny says something else. As hard as he tried. If God's destiny is willing to do so again.

"What happened to my daughter?" asked Steven coldly. His gaze was still fixed on the weakly lying girl.

"I'm sorry Gibran Pa! Shafa tried to protect Gibran but it ended up like this" Gibran said. There was fear as he faced off against his father who always seemed dignified and calm. Even in difficult circumstances.

Steven's heart softened. He cannot blame others for what happened. Slowly Steven walked around the nursing bed towards Gibran.

Steven hugged the son he had longed for. Olivia shed tears at the sight before her eyes. Steven gestured for Olivia to join him. Be the three of them embracing with unstoppable patters of tears again. A family that has been separated for many years, found in one place. Although some have to bear the wounds for them to unite again.

Randi who from earlier became a spectator. Also shed tears. "Look at Non Shafa! Non has managed to get them to meet again. Their selfishness has softened. Non Shafa must be able to survive in order to be able to come together." Inner Randi.

Now Steven and Olivia are sitting in a waiting chair outside. There is a sense of disdain that still accompanies the hearts of both. Even though they used to live together. But, year after year created a distance between the two.

"I'm sorry Stev!" olivia broke the silence.

"I'm sorry, too, for not keeping you by my side." Steven spoke without looking at Olivia.

"If I had been unselfish and would have heard your explanation, none of this would have happened" Olivia said, filled with guilt.

He used to be consumed by a slander that said Steven had an affair with another woman. Until she gave birth to a daughter. Olivia tries to trust her husband and stays at home. With the presence of little Clara. Until one day someone sent pictures of Steven with another woman holding a daughter. They looked like a happy family to be photographed. Finally, Olivia decides to get out of the house with Gibran. The woman photographed was the wife and child of her best friend.

"That's it. It's all been through. Regretting what has happened will not change the situation. All we need to do is fix things that can still be fixed" Steven said. He glanced at Olivia who lowered his gaze.

Olivia herself was confused as to what else to say. His mind digested Steven's words. Does he want to bring her back together? Repairing relationships that may still be re-knit. Olivia is still not sure about herself. I just met Steven again. It takes time to start everything.

"I saw a lot of things change from Clara" Olivia said.

"Now his name is Shafa. Name given by his biological parents." Steven spoke in a flat tone.

Makes the mood quiet again. The distance between them still fortified each other's feelings. It takes time to start something that was once broken. There are many things that their hearts must consider.
